High quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKudeMCUmFs&fmt=18 Translation also here: Kimi Räikkönen and three retired F1 stars guarantee international interest for the Arctic Lapland Rally, which starts the Finnish Rally Championship season. It is highly unusual for a Formula 1 driver to participate in a rally during his active career. -- This is one of the most sought after cars in Finland at the moment, but Kimi Räikkönen himself is keeping a low profile when it comes to the press. A four-time World Champion is taking care of setting up the Iceman's car, to get it in shape for the rally. TM: "Kimi saw the car for the first time last night and went for a short test drive. He has a day and a half to get to know the rally stages. He doesn't know the roads, and has these two days to test the car. But I have to say that right off he seemed to have a really good touch and feel for the car and driving." Q: Who do you think will be the fastest of the Formula 1 drivers? TM: "I do believe it will be the driver of this white car. Even though he doesn't have any experience, he just seemed to be so good behind the wheel." -- MS: "It's great that Kimi could make it here. It'll be nice to see how long he can keep it on the road." Q: Do you think he can match your speed? MS: "I have no idea, I haven't even seen the guy yet or seen him drive a rally car so I don't know how good he is. But I see no reason why he shouldn't be good, it's just a car like any other: four wheels and a steering wheel." Q: What do you think, would Ron Dennis have let you take part in a rally during your active Formula 1 career? MH: "Definitely not. But each team has their own mentality and approach to things. That's why I'm here now, driving and enjoying myself!"
